Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime

琼·b·琼斯和情人节

1/Party Ideas My name is Junie B. Jones. The B stands for Beatrice. Except I don't like Beatrice. I just like B and that's all. I go to school in Room Nine. Room Nine is where they have afternoon kindergarten. Also they have morning kindergarten. Only I am not familiar with that arrangement. Today at school, my teacher had a 'nouncement to make. A 'nouncement is the school word for listen to me… and I MEAN it. My teacher's name is Mrs. She has another name, too. But I just like Mrs. and that's all. Mrs. told us that we are going to have a

我叫朱尼·B。 琼斯。B代表比阿特丽斯。 除了我不喜欢碧翠丝。 我只是喜欢B，仅此而已。 我在九号房上学。 9号教室是他们上下午幼儿园的地方。 他们也有早班。 只是我不熟悉这种安排。 今天在学校，我的老师要宣布一件事。 “通告”是学校里的说法，意思是“听我说”，我是认真的。 我的老师的名字是夫人，她也有另一个名字。 但我只是喜欢夫人，仅此而已。 夫人告诉我们，我们将有一个

special day in Room Nine. And it is called Valentime's Day. She said that valentimes are special cards about friendship. And all of us in Room Nine are going to give them to each other! My bestest friend Lucille squealed real happy. "Oooo! I love getting cards, Teacher!" she said. "I especially love getting the kind with money in them. Money is my favorite kind of mail!" "Me, too, Lucille!" I said. "Money is my favorite kind of mail, too. Plus also I enjoy the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes." Mrs. did a chuckle. "Well, I'm sorry, girls. But I'm afraid there won't be money in our valentines," she said. "In Room Nine we will just be sending happy wishes to each other. But it will still be lots of fun."

九号房的特殊日子。它被称为情人节。 她说情人节贺卡是关于友谊的特殊卡片。 我们9号教室的所有人要把它们送给彼此！我最好的朋友露西尔高兴得尖叫起来。 “呜!我喜欢收到卡片，老师！”她说。 “我特别喜欢里面有钱的那种。 钱是我最喜欢的一种邮件！”“我也是，露西尔！”我说。 “钱也是我最喜欢的一种邮件。 此外，我还喜欢出版商票据交换所的抽奖活动。” 太太咯咯地笑了。“哦，对不起，姑娘们。 但我担心我们的情人节礼物里不会有钱。” “在9号房间，我们只会互相送上幸福的祝福。 但它仍然会很有趣。”

She smiled. "We will be making a special valentines box to hold all the cards. And on the day of our party, I will personally deliver the cards to each one of you," she explained. Just then, I jumped right out of my chair. 'Cause nobody even mentioned a party before! "Hurray!" I yelled. "Hurray for parties! Can we have cake and doughnuts, Mrs.? And what about cheese popcorn and cotton candy and pretzels and candy apples?" I thought some more. "Plus also we'll need red licorice and peanut butter cups, probably. And chocolate- covered raisins. Oh yeah, and malted milk balls! AND GUMMI BEARS!" I looked over at her. "Maybe you should be writing this down,"

她笑了。“我们将制作一个特殊的情人节盒子来装所有的卡片。 在我们聚会的那天，我会亲自把贺卡送给你们每个人。” 就在这时，我从椅子上跳了起来。 因为之前根本没人提过派对！“加油!”我喊道。 “派对万岁！”太太，我们可以吃蛋糕和甜甜圈吗？ 那奶酪爆米花、棉花糖、椒盐脆饼和苹果糖呢？”我又想了想。 “另外，我们可能还需要红甘草和花生酱杯。 还有巧克力葡萄干。 哦，对了，还有麦乳精球！还有小熊软糖！”我看了看她。 “也许你应该把这个写下来。”

I said. Mrs. shook her head no. She said we would have cupcakes, punch, and candy hearts. I sat back down very disappointed. 'Cause not much thought went into the menu, that's why. Lucille stood up. "What kind of punch, Teacher?" she asked. "Will it have fresh raspberries and strawberries floating in it? My nanna's caterer always puts fresh raspberries and strawberries into our punch. And it is delicious." After that, Lucille twirled around in her fluffy dress. "And what about dancing? I am learning ballroom dancing at my expensive dancing school. And so I would be happy to teach the children who are cheaper than me."

我说。太太摇摇头说不。 她说我们会有纸杯蛋糕，潘趣酒和心形糖果。 我失望地坐了下来。 因为我没花太多心思在菜单上，这就是原因。 露西尔站了起来。“什么样的潘趣酒，老师？”她问。 “里面会有新鲜的覆盆子和草莓吗？” 我奶奶的宴会承办人总是在我们的潘趣酒里放新鲜的覆盆子和草莓。 而且很好吃。”在那之后，露西尔穿着她那件毛茸茸的裙子转了一圈。 “那跳舞呢？”我正在昂贵的舞蹈学校学习交际舞。 所以我很乐意教那些比我便宜的孩子。”

Mrs. stared at Lucille a real long time. "How very generous of you," she said finally. "But I don't think we'll be having ballroom dancing, Lucille." Jamal Hall waved his hand in the air. "Then what about a puppet show?" he asked. "If we can't have dancing, can we have a puppet show?" "Yes," said a girl named Lynnie. "Or else maybe we could hire a magician." "Or what about a wild animal act?" asked a boy named Roger. "Like a grizzly bear or a sea lion?"

太太盯着露西尔看了很长时间。 “你真是太慷慨了，”她最后说。 “但我想我们不会有交际舞了，露西尔。” 贾马尔·霍尔在空中挥了挥手。 “那么木偶戏怎么样？”他问。 “如果我们不能跳舞，我们能有木偶戏吗？”“是的，”一个叫林妮的女孩说。 “或者我们可以雇一个魔术师。” 一个叫罗杰的男孩问：“或者来个野生动物表演怎么样？” “像灰熊还是海狮？”
